This game is too expensive.

[Balooga]

$60? No.

What's the point in writing something like that, without elaborating and try and open the subject up for discussion?

[Zém¡r]

I've been looking forward to this game myself for over a year.
Though I would have to agree with that price being a tad much.

I don't know if they are trying to recoup some of their losses from THQ going under or what.

And what's the point of making a thread about the same subject for the 104839373894th time? Exactly, there is no point.

it is not too expensive it was never ment to be just a arcade/flash game it is ment to be a large rpg with visuals like the show so you sure most likely just can't afford the money without begging to your mummy to give it to you or else you would not be complaining

Just an FYI, this thread is the top result if you google "why is the stick of truth so expensive?" so just rehashing the "this has already been asked" is less than helpful.

The only reason they're charging $60 is because they can, not because that's what it's "worth" or what it cost to make. Just do what I'm doing and wait for it to come down to around $20 or pick up a used xbox copy for even less.

This game is worth way more than 60 just for the laughter. I have never been so satisfied with a game. Not a single moment seemed tedious and around every corner is another comedic goldmine. Other games wish they could be half as good.

Looks like someone else understands how bull the industry standard for video-game pricing is. It's even more inane since a vast mjaority of PC games are sold via digital distribution.

I wasn't willing to pay 60 either, but 45 on GMG was good enough for me.

Just because it's South Park and "Cartoony" (it's ment to look like the show anyway) you can understand the price tag if you think about this being a AAA title. This game is, so far, worth the money I spent on it.

There's a lot of games that come out that are that price tag, most of them known, so just consider this something like...Tomb Raider.

Hopefully that was around this price tag was released or my sentence will have been for nothing. :(

I think the issue with this game and its price is that a lot of the enjoyment comes out of also enjoying South Park. I think that people who aren't really fans of South Park and just want an RPG will believe that $60 is not worth it, but as huge fan of South Park, this game is totally worth it and has been a wonderful experience.

It felt more like an 11 hour (11 hours for me to complete the main story, though I did do a couple side quests) interactive episode than a typical RPG, but I think that's kind of what they were going for, and that's why you need to be a fan of South Park to truly enjoy the game.

Well Tomb Raider actually released at 49.99. This game should have released at the typical PC AAA price point of $50 not $60.
